Shimano LRT (zh:縞野軽鐵) is an LRT line owned by Terralith Rapid Transit (TRT) and operated by Shimano LRT (the LRT division of SMTR). It has a role to complement the railroad blank area of the route such as SMTR.

This system is based on the old TeufortLRT (TLRT) and has been customized for left-hand traffic. The vehicles were originally S43-Tec LRVs used in the TeufortLRT (TLRT), with the transition to MTR4, LIGHTACE has been upgraded to accommodate MTR4, and S43-Tec LRT has been replaced by S43-Tec Stadtbahn. A new vehicle called STADTACE has also been introduced.

• This line basically plays a complementary role to existing or planned lines with long distances between stations, including lines other than SMTR, so there is a strong tendency to construct it in parallel with the line. ¹⁾
• Except for existing stations, there is a strong tendency for station names to be written in Japanese.
• Unlike SMTR, the construction method is simplified and tends not to create stations with different designs from station to station.
• As mentioned above, it is compatible with the TLRT and actually once offered direct service to it.
• In principle, only CJK ²⁾ is indicated as the number, which is different from other LRT lines. ³⁾⁴⁾

Plans for the first SLRT route were announced on August 21, 2024, and the first section of KR01 opened on August 26 of the same year to commemorate the opening of Utsunomiya LRT.

Through service with Teifot LRT U2 will begin on 13 February 2024.

All routes except for AL02 will be suspended on August 19, 2024. Through services of Teufort LRT and SMTR will also be suspended. In addition, all vehicles in service at the time, except for LRT 1928, will be taken out of service.

The next day, on August 20, the HG route temporarily resumed service with buses. Other routes were gradually resumed with the introduction of compatible LIGHTACE vehicles, and after through service with SMTR resumed on August 29, all SLRT services were restored. On the same day, all vehicles except for 1928 were deregistered. In connection with this, Landfall Station was renamed Kamiyonai Station. Management of the area around the station was transferred from Teufort LRT to TRT.

Between September 16th and 23rd, operation of the Cinderace Light Rail and Kamaboko LRT was transferred from SMTR to SLRT.

The S43-Tec LRT, which had been in use until then, will be retired in June 2025 as part of the transition to the MTR4 and replaced with the S43-Tec Stadtbahn. At the same time, odd-numbered trains (excluding one car) will begin operating.

A single-car train began operation in August 2025.

The rolling stock is mainly made up of Stadtbahn trains created by S43-tec and trains created based on them. There are slight differences depending on the route, but basically all trains are operated interchangeably as long as they are compatible with the platform length.

Vehicles transplanted from MTR3. There have been no major changes to the model except for 1998. Odd numbers of cars cannot be included in a train formation.

This is the successor model to LIGHTACE, created with reference to the S43-Tec Stadtbahn, described below. It is possible for a train to contain an odd number of cars, but not a single car.

A vehicle made by S43. It is the successor model to the S43-Tec LRT that existed when the SLRT opened. It is possible to connect an odd number of cars to a train, and single-car formations are also possible. As a general rule, the colors used in the previous model have been retained. Only Stadtbahn 2002 has a Metro model with a larger proportion of seats across the street. This is mainly used for short distance routes.

A model compatible with through service to Shimano MTR. Unlike the Shimano MTR vehicles mentioned below, these vehicles operate without distinction as long as the tracks are connected. Due to its design, it is not possible to couple it with other trains.

A train that connects to LRT from Shimano MTR. We provide through service for part of AC01 and almost all of KR01. Due to its design, it is not possible to couple it with other trains.

Note:The above vehicle is owned by TRT

These are vehicles belonging to the Teufort LRT, which once ran from the Teufort area. All vehicles were operated with AC01. All vehicles have been retired. All of the vehicles were older models for the MTR3.
